LARAMIE, Wyo.(AP) -- Austyn Carta-Samuels passed for three
touchdowns as Wyoming beat New Mexico 37-13 in a Mountain West
Conference game played on an unseasonably cold fall Saturday
afternoon after a snowstorm.

Carta-Samuels had TD passes of 31, 28 and 54 yards for Wyoming
(4-2, 2-0), which has won three straight for the first time
since 2006. New Mexico fell to 0-6, 0-2.

The snowstorm dumped close to a foot of snow in southeast
Wyoming Friday night and early Saturday, closing major highways
in the area. Laramie received 7 inches and the game-time
temperature was 15 degrees.

The New Mexico team, which stayed Friday night 50 miles away in
Cheyenne, had to be escorted to Laramie over a closed Interstate
80 by two snowplows and a Wyoming Highway Patrol car Saturday
morning to make it to the game.
